Princess Ripple and the others are back for a final round against Band Snatchers!




“Natsu found out I’m Ripple”


The final match against Band Snatchers was intense!

The princesses were about to lose when Natsu started to sing. Her song gave Princess Ripple and the others renewed strength, and a new transformation!




With this new princess transformation, Princess Ripple (super Princess Ripple?) easily defeat Band Snatchers with a single, combined beam of light! With Band Snatchers defeated, Callisto and the others revert to their original Alicepian form.



It’s not over, however! Now they have to defeat the final boss, the Red Queen herself!

really enjoyed this one. New songs, and they finally defeat Band Snatch. Almost non-stop action... Natsu helping out is a surprise, and the band members being fairies themselves is another surprise.

cliffhanger.... encounter with the Red Queen.

looking forward to next week! :)

This episode once again confirm that Princession Orchestra is better than Idol Precure, just in case episode 12 is not enough to convince everyone.

Princession Orchestra has them princess fight dynamically while singing to the music, not just the same record of live performance replaying again and again.

Synchronized fight scene with music is very hard thing to do if you don't have the budget of Disney films, I think Milky Subway also does a good job but that's only 3 minutes per episode and only has like 2 synchronized sequences.

I also love how this anime insist that there's absolutely no need for the fourth princess. But there's still at least one cour left, anything can happen... I prefer more princess but I can understand if Natsu has different role...

You're not alone, as a lot of people are fans of Band Snatch. While I myself would also be disappointed, it would be for different reasons, as seen below.

To me, whatever is better between Princession and Idol Precure depends on the element. That said, if you want my honest opinion, I feel that Team Chokkiri is better written than Band Snatch. We're actually seeing the members get a character arc, whereas the limitations of Alice Pier and the idea of holding back Band Snatch's Alicepian forms until their defeat had a negative effect in terms of character development (I feel that Band Snatch could be fleshed out if they used their Alicepian forms to do recon work and then switch to their human forms when stealing Musessence).

I like Band Snatch, but not gonna lie I'm fine for them be dead, and I was missing the old days where magical girls don't show any mercy for villains. But I don't think their arc is over yet, Calisto makes clear that the princesses would understand their reasons someday

@Guiraran While this isn't a bad way for villains to go down, it feels out of place for this particular group at this particular time. One would think that with this amount of screentime, the show would keep developing the Band Snatch. We know that they weren't stealing musessence just for fun, but beacuse it was "all they had left". So why didn't we even hear their backstory?

If the creators believe that the audience will get tired of these villains after 20 episodes, is the target audience magical girl fans or symphogear fans?

I'm happy that you and others can enjoy the show. But me personally, I feel like there was setup that lead nowhere.

@Melonada the target audience is kids, neither Symphogear fans or magical girls fans, Kaneko already said this show is different from Symphogear. But I believe they'll explain their motivations later, Calisto's last words were that one day the princesses might understand their reasons so it's a foreshadowing for what's coming. And I believe the new villains would be Band Snatch's enemies if they pass the Red Queen's trials
